I have had many Apple devices since the 2nd gen iPod, and they have all lasted a very long time compared to my other devices. All my laptops back to my 15” PowerBook is still working. They have fixed a faulty GPU on a 4 year old laptop for

I seem to remember research stating that an individual neuron has very complex behaviour that requires several ML “neurons” / nodes to simulate. So if you do a comparison, perhaps the brain is deeper than you’d think by just looking at

Seems like a pretty blatant attempt at FUD against EVs. Just a bunch of anecdotes. If this happens with a modern ICE car people wouldn’t blame it on being an ICE car. They’d blame it on the specific car or manufacturer. Perhaps on all the n

We’re not that far off from the planet being covered with low bandwidth internet anyway. NB-IOT and LTE-M, along with the possibility that SpaceX can use Starlink satellites to provide low bandwidth LTE coverage, seems to give a viable path

Nobody has ever said you’d put a fast charger in your house or at work. Getting 1MW to a commercial fast charging station is not crazy. Plenty of fast charging stations have that kind of connection. But distributed over multiple chargers of

Not their first. They were actually quite early with an EV. Though I can understand if you don’t think it counts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV

Norwegian here, and I feel the same as Toutouxc. I can imagine the year as a circle, since we’ve had circles like that in school. But there’s not generally any figure that pops into my head when I think about it. I can relate to the complic

Sounds like it. Seems like they’re talking about replacing optical lithography. The idea seems so ridiculously simple I’m thinking plenty of companies must have thought of it, and there must be a good reason it hasn’t been done before. Pati

Very interesting concept. Looks like the motor might be very lightweight so hopefully doesn’t add too much unsprung weight to the wheels. Wonder if it can be made to be durable under those conditions though.

From an analog design perspective, I don't think that makes sense. Not that I'm an analog designer, but I worked closely with them as a digital designer on CMOS camera sensors. You're already extracting as much information yo

It’s great to bring this problem up. But the focus on EVs is a distraction. > EVs tend to shed around 20 percent more from their tires due to their higher weight and high torque compared to traditional internal combustion engine-powered

Why glasses? I’ve paid a lot of money not to have to wear glasses. I might use some kind of camera attached to my head if it was something most people used. Would be nice to be able to capture moments instantly. I haven’t seen a use-case fo

It might need less mirrors, but it’ll still need mirrors, and the whole stack of technology around reflection based reticles. Do they plan to develop that themselves? EUV isn’t just ASML. It’s a whole bunch of companies from all over the wo

The implication in the article and your comment is that tabs let you switch indentation level without any negative consequences. But that’s clearly false. A lot of code will use space to align code over multiple lines. If you only use tabs,

Higher resolution would be a complete waste for videoconferencing. Having good pixels and a good lens is far more important than high resolution, especially for video. And resolution often comes at the cost of pixel quality. Small pixels ha

Out of date and extremely low quality. Why even bother sharing this? Like, we can even make steel without significant CO2 emissions now, and we can make wind turbines with wood instead of most of the steel.

In terms of global warming, nuclear energy can never get to zero because they’re thermal power plants that directly contribute to warming of the planet. The effect is surprisingly significant. Though, as long as we’re burning fossil fuels,
